AccuType® CP: Importance of Genotyping

AccuType CP conveniently identifies the genetic mutation of the CYP2C19 genotypes (*2,*3,*4,*5) that cause clopidogrel resistance, and determines if a patient should be prescribed clopidogrel. It reports if patients are a poor, intermediate or extensive metabolizer of the drug clopidogrel:
